BATHROOMS!


IT'S FRIDAY AGAIN... AND THAT MEANS SHOW US WHERE YOU LIVE! THIS WEEK IS A TOUR OF THE BATHROOMS! WE HAVE THREE IN OUR NEW HOUSE, BUT I ONLY HAVE PICTURES OF 2 BECAUSE GARRETT WAS SLEEPING AND HIS BATHROOM IS CONNECTED TO HIS ROOM! AND IT REALLY IS NOTHING EXCITING... I'VE GOT TO GET INSPIRED AND DO SOMETHING FUN WITH IT SINCE MY BOYS WILL SOON BE SHARING THEIR BATHROOM!
THIS IS OUR GUEST BATHROOM... IT IS FAIRLY SMALL AND IS IN THE HALLWAY BETWEEN THE THREE BEDROOMS AND OFF THE LIVING AREA. IT STILL NEEDS SOME "FLUFFING", BUT IT IS COMING ALONG! I LOVE THE FLEMISH GLASS ON THE SHOWER DOOR... IT HIDES WATER SPOTS AND SOAP SCUM SO WELL! ;)


THIS FAUCET IS THE ONLY THING IN THE ENTIRE HOUSE THAT JACOB PICKED OUT. WHEN WE MOVED IN, THIS BATHROOM HAD THE WRONG FAUCET INSTALLED. I CALLED THE BUILDER AND NICELY TOLD HIM THE STORY THAT THIS WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING JACOB WANTED AND HE QUICKLY SENT THE PLUMBERS OUT TO REPLACE IT! WE LOVE IT!

HERE IS A VIEW OF THE VANITY AREA. THE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT WAS ON SUPER CLEARANCE AT MERVYN'S ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO! ALL THE FIXTURES ARE DONE IN OIL RUBBED BRONZE.

I PAINTED THIS CANVAS LAST WEEKEND BECAUSE I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR 3 YEARS FOR THE PERFECT THING FOR THIS WALL AND HAVE COME UP EMPTY HANDED... AND SINCE WE WERE HAVING COMPANY, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO GET BUSY AND GET SOMETHING ON THE WALL! NOTHING LIKE HAVING COMPANY TO INSPIRE GOOD OLE HOUSEKEEPING AND DECORATING!


THIS IS THE MASTER BATHROOM COUNTER AND IT WILL NEVER BE THIS UNCLUTTERED AGAIN, SO TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK! HAHA! GRANITE IS VENETIAN GOLD AND FAUCETS ARE OIL RUBBED BRONZE.


THESE ARE MY APOTHECARY JARS IN THE CORNER OF THE SINK AREA. (JUST A SIDE NOTE: JACOB HATES THESE AND THINKS THEY SERVE NO PURPOSE AND TAKE UP WAY TOO MUCH ROOM!) GARRETT FOUND THE SHELLS AT THE LAKE A FEW YEARS AGO, SO WE PUT THEM IN HERE FOR SAFE KEEPING!

JACOB BOUGHT ME THIS TV A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, SO I CAN WATCH TV IN MY DEEP SOAKING TUB! YES, I KNOW... I AM ROTTEN! HE KNEW HE MARRIED A PRINCESS, BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW HIGH MAINTENANCE I WAS! HA! GARRETT LOVES THIS TV, TOO AND HAS WATCHED MANY MOVIES WHILE BATHING IN HERE. EVEN JACE HAS WATCHED BABY MOZART SO MAMMA CAN GET IN THE SHOWER! SO, IT HAS COME IN QUITE HANDY FOR EVERYONE!


THIS IS THE DOOR THAT GOES INTO MY CLOSET, AKA: THE DANGER ZONE! THE WREATH IS USUALLY INSIDE UNTIL CHRISTMAS, BUT JACOB RUNS INTO IT WHEN THROWING HIS LAUNDRY IN HERE, SO HE MOVED IT TO THE OUTSIDE. NOW, IT IS CHRISTMAS YEAR ROUND IN OUR BATHROOM!

THIS ARRANGEMENT LOOKS DOWN FROM THE UPPER LEDGE ABOVE THE TUB AND SHOWER. IT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE MANAGED TO GET UP THERE, BUT HOPEFULLY I CAN FIND JUST THE RIGHT THINGS TO FINISH IT OFF!


HERE IS MY FABULOUS TUB! I TOLD JACOB THE ONLY THING I WANTED IN MY NEW HOUSE WAS A BATH TUB BIG ENOUGH TO SWIM IN! I GOT IT... IT IS 6 FEET LONG AND I CAN FILL IT TO MY CHIN! BTW... ABOUT A WEEK AFTER MOVING IN, WE HAD TO HAVE AN EXTRA 50 GALLON WATER HEATER INSTALLED IN ORDER TO HAVE ENOUGH HOT WATER TO FILL THIS BIG DOG!

AND NO TUB WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A BOAT, "GOGGLERS", AND A SNORKEL! I TOLD YOU... BIG ENOUGH TO SWIM IN! HAHA!

I FOUND THIS AWESOME TURQUOISE VASE AT ROSS (MY FAVORITE!). IT HAS LOTS OF PEACOCK FEATHERS, AMBER HYDRANGEAS, AND SUPER SPARKLY CHAMPAGNE CURLY WILLOW!

A CLOSE UP OF THE INFAMOUS WREATH! I MADE IT TO MATCH THE PEACOCK CHRISTMAS TREE THAT GOES IN OUR BEDROOM! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CHOCOLATE, TURQUOISE, AND LIME GREEN TOGETHER!


AND THIS IS THE ARRANGEMENT THAT SITS ON THE BACK OF THE POTTY! JUST A LITTLE EYE CANDY FOR THE UGLY CORNER!

THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY BATHROOMS! BE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR LINK, SO I CAN LOOK AT YOURS AS WELL! BE BLESSED!

  18. Your bathrooms are so nice!! I love that faucet and those apothecary jars just make the room sparkle! We are hoping to get granite put in our kitchen this fall and I have that same color, venetian gold picked out.

    Great job on the decorating, you have such terrific taste.

  19. Thanks for stopping by on my blog and commenting. I love to meet new people! Plus I get to see your bathroom too! I have to say, I love your tile too!
    My tub is great to soak in as well and I love to make the tub bubble over the top! I know shame on me! :-)

  20. Hey Kimberly, I meant to come back by yesterday and forgot about it. I got the cross candle at a locally owned interior store.
    But, the candle is made by a company called Oliver or Sir Oliver's. I would bet they have a website. Hope that helps!
